Americans often use it to express heat.They may say they are red hot about something unfair. When they are red hot they are very angry about something. The small hot tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hots for their colour and their fiery taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot，especially the kind called Dixieland jazz.Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say theyre in the pink when theyre in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the 20th century.It probably came from many babies who were born with a nice pink colour showing good health.Blue is a cool colour. The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music. Blues is slow, sad and soulful. Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a famous songMood Indigoabout the deep blue colour, indigo. In the words of the song：“You arent blue till youve had that Mood Indigo.” Someone who is blue is very sad.The colour green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural colour for humans. A person who has a sick feeling in his stomach may say he feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as his friends, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars of greenbacks.Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the colour of the back side of the paper money.The colour black is often used in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day.The date of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day. A blacklist is illegal now. But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.【語篇解讀】文章主要介紹了和顏色有關的習語。1If you had your wallet stolen while doing some shopping，you may call it_Aa white dayBa black dayCa red dayDa green day【解析】推理判斷題。最后一段說，人們把什么都不對勁的那一天稱為“黑色的一天”，買東西的時候錢包被人偷了，夠倒霉的，可謂“黑色的一天”?！敬鸢浮緽2Suppose Mr.Brown says he is very happy because his three children are all in the pink.This means all his children are_Alucky and wealthyBgentle and modestCfit and healthyDcreative and energetic【解析】推理判斷題。從文章第三段對“粉色”的描述可推知Mr.Brown說他的三個孩子都呈粉色，意味著他的孩子都很健康?！敬鸢浮緾3When she got home and found nothing had been done by her husband, Jane was really_Ared hotBgreenCblueDblack【解析】推理判斷題?；氐郊依?，發(fā)現(xiàn)丈夫什么事情都沒有做，妻子當然十分生氣了?！敬鸢浮緼4In the following paragraph, the writer might tell the reader something about_Aunpopular organizations in the worldBpeoples response towards a black dayCthe influence of the traditional bluesDmore words about a colour, such as brown【解析】推理判斷題。文章開頭說，美國的很多日常表達都與顏色有關，然后介紹了與red，pink，blue，green，black這些顏色相關的習語，那么下文應該是繼續(xù)介紹與其他顏色相關的習語?！敬鸢浮緿B(2016遼寧鐵路實驗中學高一期中檢測)If youre planning on traveling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.First of all, always check and doublecheck departure (起程)time.It is amazing how few people really do this carefully.Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten.My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10：50.When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed.Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency(貨幣) with you when you arrive in a country.This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead.“Listen! I only take real money！”the driver said angrily.Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing.The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suit and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.【語篇解讀】作者就出國旅行給讀者提了三點建議。了解一些簡單的規(guī)則會給旅行帶來很多的方便。第一點是再三確認出發(fā)時間；第二點是隨身帶一些當?shù)氐呢泿?；第三點是充分了解當?shù)氐奶鞖馇闆r。5Where is the writer most probably from?A.
